Comrade Chicherin!

Comrade Aксельрод, Anna Grigorievna Aксельрод, wife of the former comrade in Munich*,
is very much asking that she be sent to Switzerland, to Arosa.

She cannot be cured of her serious illness (tuberculosis, spreading to the throat) anywhere else.

She cannot go illegally. (Everyone knows her both in Germany and in Switzerland).

The thought is: to ask the Swiss government openly to let her in only for treatment, only to Arosa, for a short time.

Please inquire of the appropriate people whether this is feasible, and let me know the answer.

Your Lenin
